Title: Corrosion resistant component and method for fabricating same
Inventor: MASHL STEPHEN J
IPC: C23C4/18
Filed: 2002-02-21
Abstract: A process of fabrication a corrosion and erosion resistant component. In one embodiemtn, the process entails applying one or more corrosion resistant materials onto a pre-formed, sacrifical core and then enclosing this first material and the core with a surrounding capsule. Any space within the capsule is then substantially filled with a second material, after which the capsule is sealed and treated to cause the second material to densify and to metallurgically bond to the first material. Thereafter, the core material and capsule are removed via chemical and/or mechanical processes to yield a component with a shape that approximates the space that existed between the capsule and the first material, and with an outer surface that reflects the shape of the outer surface that reflects the shape of the outer surface of the core and the inner surface of the capsule.

Abstract: A method for controlling copolymer architecture by a two-part process. In the first step, a monomer analysis is obtained from a test polymerization having constant rate co-monomer addition. In the second step a copolymer is polymerized using a co-monomer feed rate that has been adjusted based on the monomer analysis to produce a copolymer with highly controlled polymer architecture. The method can predict feeds rates to produce any desired polymer architecture from a purely random polymer to a tapered polymer. The method works for terpolymers as well as copolymers.

Title: Universal visual shield apparatus for use with a hockey helmet
Inventor: DEMARTINO JOHN
IPC: A63B69/00
Filed: 2004-08-09
Abstract: A universal visual shield apparatus, for use with a hockey helmet, is usable for training hockey players by partially blocking a user's field of vision. The apparatus includes a main shield body formed from an elastically deformable material, and is attachable to the helmet using connectors. The main shield body includes a horizontal floor portion end a vertical edge portion that cooperate to block a user from seeing the puck while it is in the user's possession, while still allowing the user to see forward. When worn, the apparatus forces the user to look forward, beyond the puck and stick. The apparatus may include adjustable apparatus straps, and can be used on any sized helmet without modifying the helmet or the apparatus.  Because the apparatus is soft and crushable, the apparatus will not harm the user or another player if they are involved in a collision on the ice.
